That leaves us with excellent options! Now, where's my coffee.

If
not M 2002 because not 2002 cm3
not M135i because not 80's
not M Coupé because then the E88 will have to be called M Convertible
so then either
M Turbo
M1 because a 1 Series (ex: 3 Series > M3)
M2 because next 1 Series Coupé will be maybe called 2 Series Coupé (ex: 6 Series)
But because
M1 is old supercar
M2 is confuse as the actual 1 Series Coupé is not yet a 2 Series Coupé

So as I said before
M Turbo is the only one left.
But what does not make any sense is that in the future all M will be turbo.
